So you must be okay with what he said then. Since you aren't outraged by it. And I voted for Trudeau and agree with more left than right. But the left
is going mad and I'm ashamed to be associated with it. Those who can't see what the left I doing have problems. The right is just as bad, actually no

Yes I'm fine with what he said. It's a bloody tweet.

There is truth to that and also a strong argument to not engage in mirroring the tactics of the left when it comes to rifling through someone's
statements to piece together a narrative to destroy them. There is also merit in fighting back to hold the left to the same standards they apply to
others. Sometimes the moral high ground in itself is not enough. I don't think it is a surprise that we're starting to see a backlash in the
conservative media using leftist tactics shortly after the Whitehouse convened a new communications war room. Right or wrong, I am not sure, but
equal accountability is not a bad thing.

It's amazing how you guys let Trump and his crew rake the bottom of the morality barrel with insults and being "politically incorrect" and when the
left does it you guys feign indignation. Someone in this thread is even calling for his arrest like freedom of speech isn't a thing or
something.

I think men who blame women for being raped probably should be raped, so that they can learn that actually no, it's not the victims fault.

It might be an eye opening experience for them.

Ah good, another leftist who thinks people should be raped for things they say or believe.
I am sure it feels good to finally come clean that you believe rape is an effective punishment for words you find abhorrent.

What trump said was a tongue in cheek comment about how he couldn't lose popularity no matter what he did. So yeah it's nothing compared to saying
"this guy needs to be raped". Grab em by the pussy is not bragging about sexual assault on a woman. I played football for 6 years I've heard and said
much worse in a locker room and no one is serious. Reza on the other hand was serious.

No I'm not mad that he's outraged. Todd is a piece of snip. I'm outraged by the crap Todd said. What I'm mad at is the fact he's calling for him to be
raped and then clarifying that he is indeed saying that. You can be outraged without saying that. The fact th at you can't see that shows theres no
point talking to you. You deflect and defend stupid people who clearly are in the wrong. Context is everything and this thread isn't about what stupid
cap trump has said. There's 100 of threads about it

For some reason I feel like the feminazis will not be screaming "RAPE is not a joke!!"

I would like to see the comedian Daniel Tosh's take on this!

+1 for for the Tosh reference, I'm curious too.

As for feminazis, the last one I spoke to wouldn't bat an eye at a man being raped- as far as she was concerned every man deserved to be battered and
caged, used as livestock.
Nut bags- the world is full of them.

Is it quite clear to all of these snowflakes anxiously clutching their pearls in dismay, that all of this came down in 2012?
And that here's the context?

Calling Trump a "piece of #" is hardly the worst thing that Aslan has said on social media about a Republican politician. That particular
distinction would go to the moment in 2012 when the cable news host wished rape upon the idiot and former Missouri congressman Todd Akin.

Akin sunk his senatorial campaign, and dragged the GOP down with him in the process, when he said in reference to abortion exemptions in the case of
abortion or incest that pregnancies don't usually result from such violence. "If it's a legitimate rape," he said, "the female body has ways to try to
shut that whole thing down."

Unsurprisingly, the former Missouri congressman's nonsensical remarks drew sharp criticism from all corners, including from his own party. Aslan also
had thought's on Akin's musings. In reference to a right-wing commentator who compared the ex-congressman to a rape victim, Aslan quipped on social
media, "I wish!" The cable news host clarified later, "Just to be clear I was indeed wishing someone would rape congressman Todd Akin. I'd hate to be
misunderstood." Washington Examiner

So, by extension, are all of these hand-wringers actually supporting Akin's comments? Scary thing is I'm certain that far too many are!

Why is Reza Aslan still employed?
There is no justification for this idiot to have any public platform.
I guess the sponsors of the programming he is involved with are ok with people calling for those they dislike to be raped.
Sprint
Subaru
Dodge
Hyundai
Guess they all support this type of programming?

It is no surprise. Hypocrisy knows no bounds. Free speech is far more important than any petty revenge.

No, us 'hand-wringers' are saying that saying someone should be raped because you disagree with what someone else says - whether you are right or
wrong - is a rather putrid approach to justice and with such a warped view of the world, one should be careful about calling others a 'piece of sh**'.

Don't act like people on the right don't get all giggity thrilled at the thought of their enemies getting raped while incarcerated!

Yes, but free speech dies when the consequences of such speech are applied unequally. If we are to have standards then apply them equally. We either
accept no consequences for speech such as this for ALL, or we punish it for ALL.
